“The Japanese government should apologize to humanity and stop dumping at sea.
We must not forget Fukushima.
Let’s stop nuclear power plants and create a society where the next generation can live with peace of mind.
For the cessation of the Kaminoseki Nuclear Power Plant, let’s stop it with the people’s efforts of the prefecture.
